Netflix’s Most Anticipated Revenge Thriller Is A Disappointingly Undercooked Class Satire 'Beef' Season 2 expands its social satire with a star-studded new feud, and bites off more than it can chew.

Charles Melton is the standout in the most WHITE LOTUS-lite season of BEEF, which stuffs itself with A-list stars and prestige-TV turns, which still pales in comparison to the lightning in a bottle that was season 1: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

How Ian McKellen Became The Secret Weapon To Steven Soderbergh's Surprising New Heist Movie Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel talk art, fame, and working with Steven Soderbergh on 'The Christophers.'

3 Sci-Fi Movies At SXSW Reveal A Surprising Storytelling Trend Three movies at SXSW use their sci-fi premises to tell human stories, some more successfully than others.

A round-up of some of the smaller films I saw at #SXSW: ANIMA (meh!), THE SAVIORS (bad!), and SPARKS (good!) www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 Review: Marvel Doubles Down On The Best And Worst Parts Of The Show The second season of the Disney+ revival gets stuck spinning its wheels in an occasionally thrilling, often frustrating, new chapter for the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2 is a par for the course for a DAREDEVIL season: a rough start before it finally gets good in the latter half. Occasionally thrilling, often frustrating: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

'Hokum' Is A Terrifying Contender For The Best Horror Movie Of The Year Adam Scott stars in 'Hokum,' a bone-chilling ghost movie that proves that old-fashioned scares can still be the most terrifying.

HOKUM is a terrifying, witchy horror movie and my favorite movie I saw at #SXSW. Old-fashioned, well-crafted horror at its best www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

I’m so sorry Britt 😞

'Over Your Dead Body' is Dead On Arrival Jason Segel and Samara Weaving are a match made in hell in Jorma Taccone’s misguided remake of the Norwegian action horror.

I reviewed OVER YOUR DEAD BODY at #SXSW, which unfortunately feels mismatched in almost every way:

'Normal' Is An Above-Average Action Thriller Saved By Bob Odenkirk Bob Odenkirk is a sheriff who arrives in a very violent town in 'Normal,' a wild new action thriller from director Ben Wheatley.

I thought NORMAL was fine! Ben Wheatley and Bob Odenkirk elevate a really shaky script that has one character saying "I thought this town was normal! It's not normal." www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

what HT said! i'm sure it'll still be good at home, but this movie played GREAT to a crowd

'Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice' Is Time-Travel Action At Its Zaniest Vince Vaughn, James Marsden, and Eiza González are the perfect trio in the madcap time-travel romp 'Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice.'

MIKE & NICK & NICK & ALICE is the kind of madcap time-travel romp that would KILL in the theater so it’s going to be a real shame most people will half-watch it when it hits Hulu next week. They will miss James Marsden being the hottest he’s ever been www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Could AI Make This Documentary? Filmmakers Grapple With The Rise Of The Machines Two new documentaries try to unpack the rise of AI. Here's what 'The AI Doc' and 'Ghost in the Machine' tells us, and don't tell us, about our future.

I chatted with the directors of THE AI DOC: OR HOW I BECAME AN APOCALOPTOMIST (premiering today at SXSW!) about making an AI doc in a time when the tech is rapidly changing:

I LOVE BOOSTERS is Boots Riley’s brand of absurdist maximalism taken to the extreme. An anti-capitalist creed that is dripping, nay, sopping with style and Boots’ trademark surreal touches. Laughed SO much during this one #SXSW2026

'Undertone' Is Scariest With What It Doesn’t Show A24's new horror movie 'Undertone' is a lesson in how to make great audio design terrifying.

I reviewed UNDERTONE which was scary! Especially in what it doesn’t show www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

'Project Hail Mary' Is Popcorn Sci-Fi At Its Most Crowdpleasing Andy Weir’s hit speculative sci-fi gets a crowdpleasing adaptation that soars by the strength of the charisma of its star and adorable alien creature.

PROJECT HAIL MARY is pure popcorn cinema — spectacular and moving, even if it’s clear that it doesn’t really care about the science that made its source material a hit. But who cares when you have Best Boy Rocky?? www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

'The Bride!' Is Stylish, Garish, And Soulless Maggie Gyllenhaal's 'The Bride!' is a stylish, garish, and soulless "sequel" to Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein.'

THE BRIDE! is a mess! www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Dan Trachtenberg Has "Multiple Things" Planned For The Predator Franchise 'Predator: Badlands' director Dan Trachtenberg teases plans for the franchise, and whether he’d like to direct a Star Wars someday.

Not included in my Dan Trachtenberg interview: the two of us reminiscing about TERRACE HOUSE and him recommending I watch a show called OFFLINE LOVE www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

'How To Make A Killing' Is A Screwy Social Satire That Falls Just Short Of The Mark Glen Powell is perfectly cast as a cutthroat social climber in 'How To Make A Killing,' John Ford Patten's loose remake of 'Kind Hearts and Coronets.'

I might be one of the few who didn’t mind HOW TO MAKE A KILLING even if I think it undercuts its own satire by trying to reach for some kind of moral catharsis www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Why You Should Avoid All Spoilers For 2026's Most Shocking Thriller Movie The Oscar-nominated rave thriller, 'Sirat' has one of the most shocking turns of the year.

'Zi' Is An Existential Dream Wrapped In A Time-Travel Movie With the dreamy time-travel movie 'Zi,' Kogonada goes back to basics in a tiny, subtle, beautiful journey through time and Hong Kong.

ZI: Kogonada continues his big bold beautiful journey with something much smaller and humbler. A dreamy wisp of a movie, ZI is a fascinating experiment that still feels like Kogonada is synthesizing his film influences. With ZI, he’s one step closer www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

'28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' Review: The First Feel-Bad Movie of 2026 The second entry in the '28 Years Later' trilogy, 'The Bone Temple,' is hard to watch but easy to love.

28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE is an even more brutal and heady trip than the first, with a visceral sequence I couldn't believe made it into a mainstream horror release, and Ralph Fiennes offering much-needed levity and austerity. My review: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...
